Corbett's guide to arranging tables
Super Mario Galaxy comes out on Friday. I can't believe that. A true new Mario game for the first time in years. With any luck, it'll be just the little push I need to get me into playing more games. Cause there's no way I'm not playing this one. No freaking way. If I stop for several days part way through, you have my full permission to hit me with any blunt instrument you may choose until I start playing again.
Today was a rather interesting day at school, which I'm going to talk about because I have nothing better. I've been meaning for a while now to rearrange some of the consoles and so on in the common room, since they were pretty much just stuck wherever as they were brought in. I've also been meaning to recover a table that went missing (no idea how) a few weeks back, since we kind of needed the surface area.
Since today was the day I have only one lesson (or, as I prefer to call it, part three of my three day weekend) and that was done with by second, I took the opportunity to put the plan into action. With a bit of assistance from some friends (mostly in the area of actually carrying the stuff we needed to move), I managed to get all the consoles plugged in alongside two TVs on the one table. We now have a fully functioning and well planned gaming alcove. I love sixth year.
Someone also told us where we could steal a table from, so we immediately went and got that. It's slightly smaller than the original one but it still serves its purpose well enough. All the room needs now is a bit of dusting and a going over with an industrial strength vacuum cleaner and it will no longer be classified as a slum.
My iPhone, which I just love to talk about, proved pretty popular at school. By the end of the day, the battery was pretty much dead from people toying with it. And that was with about 2/3rds of the year away at some Young Enterprise conference.
Young Enterprise is basically this scheme whereby those who want to can form a “company”, decide on and produce a product, sell shares, create a marketing campaign, etc. Basically, it serves as an introduction to the world of business. The world of business apparently involves a lot of complaining about what your idiot team-mates have chosen as a product, blaming delays on your project leader crying a lot and staying behind after school occasionally. Also, spreadsheets. Lots of spreadsheets.
I'm extremely glad that I didn't decide to do it.
Well, it's getting kind of cold in here and I want to go to bed, so I'm just going to finish this up with a link to something funny... how about a web page dealing with annoyingly common mistakes that people make about the Zelda series? Yeah, that'd do. Here it is.
